Hi everyone,

I just signed up on this site. I'm Mandy and I'm 27 years old. I'm now 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant with our second little miracle. Unfortunately, we lost our first child at 29 weeks and 2 days. During the 20-week scan, a small hole in the diaphragm was found, and suddenly I went into labor. Our son was allowed to live for 24 hours, but it was still too heavy, so we had to say goodbye.

This pregnancy is sometimes extra heavy and exciting, but very special. Counting down to the 20-week scan and hoping everything is okay. Going past every milestone and hoping to hold our little miracle in our arms by the end of February.

Greetings, Mandy

    @engeltjesmama,

    That must have been so hard. I don't even have words for it. I hope you'll be able to hold your little miracle in your arms in about 20 weeks.

    The month you're due in, either with a group of expectant moms or already being a mom anyway.

    It’s indeed been a really tough time with ups and downs. Among other things, a poor result on the combined screening test, which meant doing an NIPT test where you just have to wait 10-15 working days to get the results. But we’re staying positive and hope to hold a beautiful little miracle in our arms in about 20 weeks. My due date is in February, and I’ve indeed joined the group of mums who are due this month. It’s really nice chatting with these mums.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Love, Mandy

    Good news, the NIPT test results came back positive indeed.
    No abnormalities detected, so that was a huge relief.

    Love, Mandy
